Science Versus Religion as a Guide to Life - Harry Elmer Barnes - Bog

""Science Versus Religion As A Guide To Life"" by Harry Elmer Barnes is a thought-provoking book that delves into the age-old conflict between science and religion. The author argues that these two worldviews are fundamentally incompatible and that science provides a much more reliable and accurate guide to life than religion. Barnes examines the historical roots of this conflict, tracing it back to the Enlightenment and the rise of modern science. He explores the ways in which religion has been used to justify oppression, intolerance, and even violence, while science has led to remarkable advances in knowledge and technology. The book also addresses some of the most pressing ethical and moral issues facing society today, including climate change, genetic engineering, and the ethics of war. Barnes argues that science provides a more rational and evidence-based approach to these issues than religion, which often relies on dogma and tradition. Despite its provocative title, ""Science Versus Religion As A Guide To Life"" is not a polemic against religion. Rather, it is a nuanced and thoughtful exploration of the relationship between science and religion, and the ways in which they can complement each other. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of science, religion, and ethics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
